Limburg pharmaceutical company receives award in the “Great Place to Work®” competition for the third time
Mundipharma has once again been recognized as one of the best employers in the Great Place to Work® Institute's nationwide company competition “Germany's Best Employers 2015”. The Limburg pharmaceutical company once again impressed the expert jury in its third participation in the renowned competition and is one of the 100 best employers in Germany.
The award was presented on March 4, 2015 in Berlin by the research and consulting institute Great Place to Work® in collaboration with the 'Handelsblatt', the 'personalmagazin' and the demography network 'ddn'. “The award stands for a workplace culture that is particularly characterized by trust, pride and team spirit,” says Frank Hauser, head of the Great Place to Work® Institute Germany.
“In our category of companies with 501 to 2,000 employees, we achieved 15th place and were able to once again demonstrate our attractiveness as an employer with this placement. We are therefore very pleased to be among the 100 award-winning companies for the third time in a row,” said Dietmar Leitner, Managing Director of Mundipharma, commenting on the jury’s decision. “For us as a medium-sized company, this award is confirmation of our employee-oriented orientation. We are proud of the responsible cooperation and the company identification of each individual – an important basis for our success and the future viability of Mundipharma.”
The award represents special commitment to creating an employee-oriented workplace culture. This was preceded by a representative survey of Mundipharma employees on key workplace topics such as trust in management, leadership behavior, recognition, identification, professional development, team spirit, work-life balance and health promotion. In addition, the quality of the company's human resources and management measures was assessed in a “cultural audit”.
The “Germany’s Best Employers” competition has been held annually since 2002. This year, a total of over 600 companies of all industries, sizes and regions took part in the current benchmark study on the quality and attractiveness of workplace culture and underwent independent testing by the Great Place to Work® Institute.
Mundipharma managing director Dietmar Leitner confirms how important job quality and overall employer attractiveness are for a modern business company. “We are committed to showing our employees excellent prospects and living up to our responsibility for the people who live and work here. Every individual can contribute to this and help shape Mundipharma’s workplace culture.”
